You'll encounter many beautiful headlands that lend themselves to lots of photos. We drove all the way from Mendo to Bodega Bay and highly recommend touring this coastline for the dramatic vistas.

We suggest driving along the Coast (Highway 1 ) from Jenner rather than inland from Cloverdale thru Boonville (VERY winding road) .Even in crummy weather, it's breathtaking!

It was windy, but you could see as far as the eye could see! Blue sky meeting blue sea. What could be more peaceful and perfect! We started our coastal trip in Bodega, and visited beaches as far as Ft. Bragg and a bit beyond. In case travelers wonder, glass collecting is no longer allowed.

YES, THE MENDOCINO coast is a beautiful place to enjoy, any time of year, but spring and fall is our favorite, because of the colors and the season change, so green in spring ,and fall colors in the fall. A wonderful place to hike and just relax and enjoy the beauty, A must is the Mendocino gardens.

Wildflowers in bloom around paths meandering through the Headlands, overlooking the dramatic surf surrounding the Mendocino coast, all accessible to walkers.
